Logicube OmniWIPE Software Updating Procedures
New and improved software will appear from time to
time on our web site at
www.logicube.com
. It is
possible to update the operating software in the field
by a user.
There are two methods to update the software:
Using the CompactFlash Card
Using a parallel port connection
NOTE
: Logicube provides a CD-ROM that contains a
backup copy of the Logicube OmniWIPE-2 software.
This software is already loaded on your unit.
Loading Software Using the Compact Flash Card
The new software (a single file always called ocx.h86)
has to be placed on the root directory of the Compact
Flash (CF). If a CF reader/writer is available on your
computer, the software simply needs to be copied to
the root directory, overwriting the older version that’s
already there.
Another file called ocxcfldr.h86 also needs to be on
the root directory of the Compact Flash card.
NOTE:
If a reader is not present, the Logicube
OmniWIPE itself, in conjunction with an A-to-B USB
cable can be configured to behave like a
CompactFlash card reader/writer. Please refer to the
section
“Connecting Through the Software Setup
Menu”
in
Section 4: Compact Flash (CF) Card
.
Once the new ocx.h86 file is present on the CF card,
it is a simple matter to make it update or reload the
software.
1. Disconnect any drive connected to the Master
position.
